章 199: Five Billion

In the living room, Arix and Fleur, watched Thaddeus with bated breath. They were so worried about waking him that even their breathing slowed down.

After a while, noticing Thaddeus still asleep, Fleur gestured toward the dining room, signaling Arix to go have breakfast.

Arix wanted to stay a bit longer, but under her mom's increasingly stern look, she nodded obediently.

Fleur smiled, satisfied, and waved her off. Arix got up carefully and headed to the dining room.

As soon as she walked in, Evelyn, who was busy making strawberry jam, stopped and asked gently, "Miss, what would you like for breakfast today?"

"Evelyn, just some scrambled eggs, please," Arix said as she sat down at the table.

"Okay," Evelyn replied with a warm smile. She then turned to make the meal. A few minutes later, she placed the eggs and juice in front of Arix.

"Thank you, Evelyn," Arix said and started eating.
